Which heroes would suit the Ballad of the Boundless Blue?

This book will be an excellent free option for those heroes who mainly play as a main-deader and rely on the damage of ordinary and charged attacks. Characters with expensive ultimates will especially appreciate it, since the additional stat restoration will help you accumulate energy faster.

• Mona. The astrologer has a passive talent that increases her hydro damage depending on her energy recovery rate. Thus, the catalyst will increase the damage of Mona herself and will allow her to buff the entire team with her ultimate more often. And if she has C2 with this catalyst, the heroine can become a good main damage dealer, playing off ordinary attacks.
• Nevillet. The High Judge's main source of damage is his charged attacks. And the additional bonus to energy recovery will allow him to take his ultimate more often and receive more Source Drops, which will have a positive effect on the frequency of using the powerful hydro flow.
• Wanderer. The Catalyst is great for increasing the damage of normal and charged attacks that the Wanderer usually uses. And the quickly accumulating ult will increase his overall DPS.
• Yanfei. The heroine has a rather expensive elemental explosion of 80 units. You will especially appreciate its frequent use if you have a fourth constant, thanks to which you can keep the Noelle: Protector active. With this catalyst, not only will you not have to gain recovery at the expense of attacking stats, but you will also be able to get a bonus to overall damage.
• Wriothesley. The passive goes well with the hero’s gameplay, in which he spends most of his time attacking enemies with regular and charged attacks. The additional recovery will only increase his overall damage due to the frequent use of his ultimate.
• Sangonomiya Kokomi. If you suddenly decide to play the Divine Priestess as the main damage dealer who spends most of the time on the field, then this catalyst can significantly increase her effectiveness, thanks to the ability to use her ultimate more often, which, With You with the weapon’s passive, will give a significant increase in hand damage.
• It is worth highlighting here separately Klee. The little one will really appreciate the affixes filled with this weapon. At the same time, there is a possibility that when using the ultimate in teams playing from steam, it will simply interrupt the hydro status, which is why it will not be able to close reactions. In roasting teams consisting of pyro heroes, she will receive a fairly large infusion of energy from her allies, which is why the value of the recovery stat will noticeably decrease. Use a catalyst only if there are no other more damaging options.

How to play the Song of Vast Azure

The gameplay for the owner of this catalyst is quite simple, since it does not require you to comply with any complex passive conditions. As in most squads, you need to distribute all the buffs from the team, activate the skills of the supports, which will support the lives of all allies. And then switch to the main damage dealer, who is the carrier of this weapon, and begin a series of attacks. Try not to switch to other characters until the end of the rotation, as in this case all the stacks accumulated by the passive ability will disappear, which will reduce all outgoing damage.

We hope that after reading the guide, you were able to figure out for which characters “Ballad of the Boundless Blue” would be the best option, and found worthy carriers for the catalyst.
